Simon Cowell Rushed to the Hospital, Won't Be on 'The X Factor' Saturday

People magazine confirms that Cowell was taken to the hospital after losing his balance as he went down the stairs at his London home. He was put into an ambulance on a stretcher "surrounded by worried aides."

His partner, Lauren Silverman, was seen boarding a flight to London from New York City.

A rep told The Sun, "It’s been a scary morning. It was very early and Simon was going down his stairs to get some hot milk because he couldn’t sleep. He fainted and is thought to have fallen down the stairs.”

Cowell was in stable condition following the accident, and has since been released.

Over the summer, Cowell was forced to miss some London auditions for "The X Factor" due to a mysterious illness.

On Friday afternoon, Cowell was spotted arriving home after his release from the hospital.
